im mainly concerned with the boot rubbing and wearing, im thinking i never want to have to touch them ever. not just when they wear thru or something.

could any one tell me how much lift you get with only a 3/4" poly/rubber/urethane spacer under the front spring of a prelowered?, with no other mods? i wanna firm it up just a skoshe and get about another inch of snow clearance. i prefer to run a full spring rubber on each side in the rear, not too high to use up the smooth ride part, but drilled thru the middle in a few spots and safety wired about halfway down the spring, so it gently makes the spring more progressive and still feel like butter. an excellent compliment to the front with no swaybar. and im sticking to it. |

About 1 1/2" on the 3/4" spacer. |

It's about an 1 1/4". It numbers would suggest 1 1/2", but there's about a quarter inch droop to account for. Looks great and perfect for the no-so-hardcore offroader. |

thanks guys very much for the info. just one more question, with the 1 1/4" that i could probably expect, how much will that change my cv angle, right now as it sits in the garage with no spare and no skid plates on, they are barely, maybe 5 degrees at the most down from perfectly level. |

Anything you do to make you KJ taller will change the cv angle. Since you are only lifting and inch or so, I wouldn't worry about your cv angle with such a small lift. |

I dont think the boots rubbing or wearing will be an issue with that setup. |

I have Rusty's .75 spacers in the front & cv angles are straight across NO issues at all |

No issues with CV angle... they're fine |

Does anyone have pics of something similar to the original poster's proposed setup?? |

Yup... Raceinfan and I have similar setups. We've both got pre-lowered springs + Rusty's 3/4" spacers. I also have 2 sets of AllJ's 1/2" spacers stacked in the back |
